Frozen Ever After

The power outage of 28 April 2026 showed how vulnerable operations at the newly opened Disney Adventure World could be. Around 3:30 p.m., almost all attractions in Disneyland Paris’s second park suddenly stopped. Shows were cancelled as well. For guests, it meant an afternoon spent inside the park with very few places left to go.

The impact was broad. Looopings listed Frozen Ever After, The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Avengers Assemble: Flight Force, Ratatouille, Raiponce Tangled Spin, RC Racer, Les Tapis Volants, Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin, Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop, Cars Road Trip and Crush’s Coaster among the affected rides. Only Spider-Man W.E.B. Adventure and Cars Quatre Roues Rallye avoided closure, according to the report. Paths and squares became crowded because much of the park’s attraction capacity disappeared at once.

Historically, the report matters because Disney Adventure World had only recently started operating under its new name. The outage did not hit one problematic ride, but almost the entire attraction lineup, including new draws such as Frozen Ever After and Raiponce Tangled Spin. By around 5:15 p.m., all rides were operating again except Frozen Ever After and Avengers Assemble: Flight Force; those returned later as well. The article records an early stress test for the renewed park.

In January 2026, Disneyland Paris set out how loyal visitors could see World of Frozen before its public opening. The new Frozen area was due to open officially on Sunday 29 March, but Disneyland Pass holders were given several preview dates in March. Gold passholders even had access on Sunday 15 March, two weeks before the main opening.\n\nDemand was high, as reservations through the online passholder portal were mandatory and came with queues and technical issues. The previews were not limited to Arendelle either. Guests could also explore the rest of the Disney Adventure World expansion, including Adventure Way with Raiponce Tangled Spin. In the evening, Disney Cascade of Lights was scheduled, giving the test days the feel of a near-complete first look at the renewed park.\n\nFor Raiponce Tangled Spin, that mattered because the attraction was not presented in isolation, but as part of the route toward World of Frozen. The expansion connected the intimate Rapunzel boat carousel to the larger transformation of the former Walt Disney Studios Park. Frozen Ever After also played a key role as the only ride inside World of Frozen.

At the end of November 2025, Disneyland Paris finally attached a firm date to the largest expansion of its second park. Disney Adventure World was scheduled to open officially on Sunday 29 March 2026, with World of Frozen as the new headline land, Adventure Way as the promenade, Adventure Bay as the lake and Raiponce Tangled Spin as an additional family ride. For visitors, a project that had hovered over the resort since 2018 suddenly had a clear finish line.

The article also showed how much the plans had changed along the way. Disney once announced a 2-billion-euro investment in lands themed to Marvel, Frozen and Star Wars, with completion expected in 2025. In reality, only Avengers Campus had opened by 2022, Star Wars was replaced by The Lion King, and the Frozen phase moved into 2026. The opening date therefore became more than a ride announcement: it was a marker in a long strategic shift.

For guests, the day would mainly revolve around Frozen Ever After, the boat dark ride copied almost directly from Hong Kong Disneyland. At the same time, Raiponce Tangled Spin was confirmed as part of the same opening phase. The renaming to Disney Adventure World underlined that the former studio park was moving away from film production and toward stepping into recognisable Disney worlds.
